Platform 9 3/4

Walking into Kings cross for another year just made me so much more excited to go next year. Before 9 3/4 no one really pays attention. It's the opposite for me. I always love sneaking glances at other muggles around and making up life stories. Dad always seems to notice my enthusiasm for muggles and says every year 'you should take muggle studies if you're so interested.' I'm so used to the pattern of the train station I don't expect anything different. But of course I was wrong. After mum started complaining about the muggles a small frail boy of Ron's age came by.

"Excuse me!" He said then asks about how to get through the platform. As mum explains it to I'm assuming the muggle born boy, I think about how strange this must be. A woman telling you to run into a wall must be bloody insane. The boy doesn't seem to mind much though she just simply follows what she says.

"Good luck!" I hear Ginny say to the determinant boy. He doesn't even respond, he's so in his head. That's the last I see of the boy, the platform is so convoluted I'm surprised we can even find any of my brothers. When we do though it's always the hardest part. I don't cry when I'm there because I would be relentlessly bullied by them but I always get one minute with them. I don't talk to Percy much, he never really gave me the time of day and it never bothered me too much. I do hope it changes one day.

Fred and George though Merlin I love them. I always hated seeing them go it makes the house so quite. In turn I try to keep their prankster spirit up, it doesn't help much though. I'm much too young to do it with actual spells but it works well enough. So when I go up to the boys I'm not surprised to see their loving smiles.

"Don't be afraid to invade our room sis, I'm sure I left some perfect pranking materials in there!" George says.

"Don't tell Ginevra but you're my favorite sister." Fred winks. I roll my eyes in turn and give them a look.

"I can confirm you say that to the both of us so goodbye you two, don't forget to write." They both chuckle. As I start walking away.

"Aye, one more thing-" I turn "I heard that Harry Potters in the same year as Ronald, isn't that bloody amazing!" I hear my mother yell at George for cussing in-front of me. As they walk away in a duo like always. Those two always got me and Ginny "a twin thing" we would always say to anyone else. I turn once more and go over to Ron. This is his first year so I'm not sure how to cope with that. We've never been apart that long, and I'm not sure what'll be like. So when I walk over to mom, Ginny, and Ron I'm not sure what to say.

"Hi." Ron turns to me 'sorry' his eyes say but I know he's absolutely thrilled. Everything about him is excited, his hands are twitching just enough for me to notice and I can see him trying to get through conversations quickly to get onto the train. But I can also see his eyebrows tilted telling me he's also going to miss us.

"Hey!" He says with his little half smile that always makes me smile in turn. After an surprisingly uncomfortable silence in the chaotic atmosphere I say

"I'm going to miss you." Ron looks surprised that I said it at all. Growing up with an army of brothers I learned not to say much about my feelings, it helps.

"I'm gonna miss you too, you know." It's too much. Way too much.

"You write alright? I'm going to need something to do when you're gone." I'm fighting a tear that I know is about to come. I take a deep breath and tell myself to stop, think about it later. Not now. Ron somehow can always look right through me and in the best way he knows how to comfort me. He puts his arm around my shoulder.

"Merlin like I could forget, now I got to get on this train but I love ya, gotta go! Bye mom!" And just like that he's gone. One second he's right by my side the next he's gone. He'll write though? Right?
